On International Criminal Justice Day, voices worldwide urge states to commit firmly to justice for victims of serious crimes. The International Bar Association’s (IBA) ICC and International Criminal Law (ICL) Programme emphasizes the need to support the Rome Statute system. This system is central to promoting accountability and ending impunity for crimes like genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
The IBA highlights the importance of strengthening international criminal justice mechanisms to ensure victims receive fair treatment and acknowledgment. The Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court (ICC), plays a key role in deterring future crimes and delivering justice globally.
Advocates stress that robust state cooperation and political will are vital to the system’s effectiveness. As conflicts and human rights violations continue worldwide, the global legal community pushes for enhanced support and adherence to international criminal justice standards.
These efforts seek to bring hope and resolution to victims and their families, affirming the international community’s dedication to human dignity and justice.
Key points include:
- Support for the Rome Statute system to promote accountability.
- Ensuring fair treatment and acknowledgment for victims.
- The ICC’s role in deterring crimes and delivering justice.
- Necessity of state cooperation and political will.
